AI’s Energy Consumption to Outpace Data Centers by 2030

Artificial intelligence (AI) workloads are driving a significant surge in data center electricity demands, with estimates predicting a more than double increase by 2030 according to the International Energy Agency. As AI technologies rapidly expand, facilities must invest heavily in energy capacity to meet these growing needs. According to experts, a typical AI data center consumes as much energy as 100,000 homes, highlighting the significant scale of this challenge.
